Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 1, 2026

CLIGN (“we,” “us,” or “our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use the CLIGN platform (the “Service”), including data we receive through integrations with Google services.

1. Information we collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account information: name, email address, phone number, home address, and password when you register.
  • Profile information: school, major, expected graduation year, home and school time zones, and optional preferences such as school colors.
  • Academic content: syllabi, course schedules, deadlines, lecture recordings, transcripts, notes, flashcards, and quizzes you upload or generate.
  • Calendar and email data: with your permission, we access calendar and email information through Google Calendar and Gmail APIs to build your schedule and surface deadlines.
  • Usage data: device type, browser, IP address, and interactions with the Service, collected automatically to improve performance and security.

2. How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • Provide, personalize, and improve the CLIGN Service.
  • Build your semester calendar, course list, and study plan from uploaded syllabi.
  • Generate transcripts, notes, flashcards, and quizzes from lecture recordings.
  • Sync with Google Calendar and Gmail when you authorize those integrations.
  • Send important account and product updates.
  • Maintain security, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

3. Google Calendar integration and Limited Use

CLIGN connects to Google Calendar through the Google Calendar API only after you explicitly grant permission via Google's OAuth consent screen. We request the minimum scopes necessary to provide the Service.

What we access and how we use it. When you connect Google Calendar, CLIGN accesses your Google Calendar data — including your calendar list and your events — solely to provide the following user-facing features:

  • Displaying your Google Calendar events alongside your CLIGN schedule.
  • Two-way synchronization of your own events: events you create, update, or delete in CLIGN are reflected in your Google Calendar, and changes you make in Google Calendar are reflected in CLIGN.

CLIGN's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:

  • We only use Google user data to provide or improve user-facing features of CLIGN (such as displaying and syncing your calendar).
  • We do not transfer Google user data to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve those features, to comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with notice to you.
  • We do not use Google user data for serving advertisements, and we do not allow humans to read your Google data unless we have your affirmative agreement for specific messages, doing so is necessary for security purposes, or doing so is required to comply with applicable law.
  • We never sell your Google Calendar data, and we never transfer it to any third party for advertising or any purpose unrelated to providing the Service.

Disconnecting and deleting your data. You can disconnect Google Calendar at any time from Settings → Integrations, or revoke access from your Google account permissions page. When you disconnect:

  • Events that CLIGN created in your Google Calendar (courses, deadlines, sports, and other CLIGN events) are removed from Google Calendar.
  • Google Calendar data stored in CLIGN is removed from our systems, and CLIGN immediately stops accessing your Google account.

You may also delete your CLIGN account at any time, which deletes all associated data, including any data obtained from Google, within a reasonable time as described in Section 7.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share data with service providers who help us operate CLIGN (such as cloud hosting and AI processing), and only under strict confidentiality and security obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users.

5. Data security

We use industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, Row Level Security in our database, and secure authentication. While we take strong steps to protect your data, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Your rights and choices

You can:

  • Update or delete your profile information in Settings.
  • Revoke Google integrations at any time in Settings → Integrations.
  • Request a copy of your data or ask us to delete your account by contacting support.

7. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your data within a reasonable time, except where retention is required by law.

8. Children's privacy

CLIGN is designed for college students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected data from a child under 13, please contact us.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the Service. Your continued use of CLIGN after changes take effect means you accept the revised policy.
